Hi all; Newbie to this list. My 3x GGrandfather, William Campbell is buried in Blairsville, PA. His gravestone is essentially blank but the cemetery records indicate that he was born abt. 1790 in County Kerry. None of the Campbell researchers I've contacted know of any branch coming from County Kerry so I'm stumped. Any Campbells on this list?? The thought is creeping in that it should have been Derry but it is still just a thought. Thanks to you all and Happy New Year. Jan Thomas

Looking for anyone that has researched these names in Glenflesk, Teernaboul, and Killarney. My gr-gr Daniel Courtney of Glenflesk was son of Denis Cournane and Julia Donoghue of Killarney area. He was born circa 1850. He married Julia Healy daughter of Daniel Healy and Nora Foran of Teernaboul. They married 13 Jan 1870 and emigrated to Worcester,MA with 5 children in 1883. Any info on families or the areas they were from would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,Helen

Hello Kerry and O'Connell cousins, All of you who are trying to find a link to the famous Daniel O'Connell might go to: http://www.irish-cottage.net/oconnell/index.htm That is a link to the House of Ireland in San Diego, California, USA which was kind enough to let me post the O'Connell Family Tracts 1, 2, 3 researched and organized by Basil Morgan O'Connell. These lists trace as many of the descendents of The Liberator as Basil O'Connell could locate. He did a remarkable job, but there are errors and omissions, and no names after about 1950. One of our cousins emailed me today that we can Google "O'Connell Family Tracts" and go to the Family History site of the Latter Day Saints in Utah, where there is a link to the Tracts. However, I looked at that site today, and it apparently only has the first Tract. It is an important Tract, but there are 2 more, which are not shown. In addition, it appears that they have listed a lot of information at that link about a totally unrelated family, which has nothing to do with the O'Connell's. I am a ggg granddaughter of the Liberator and have in my Family Tree Maker file close to 5,000 names, including all three of the O'Connell Family Tracts and as much as I could locate in Burke's Irish families. There are still many questions to be answered, but you can't go wrong by checking out the site shown above. Cheers and a Happy New Year (and hopefully a peaceful one) to all!

Merry Christmas, all. Someone posted a little verse on the Ireland-L list on "The American Wake" that many of our Irish relatives attended. Just like a funeral wake, but the the departed were dead and hadn't left yet. They were those who were leaving for America (or Canada, Australia, etc.) and would not be returning and would never be seen again. Ray Marshall Minneapolis Date: Fri, 21 Dec 2007 09:25:36 -0800 From: "Jean R." <jeanrice@cet.com> Subject: [IRELAND] "After the American Wake" -- Vincent WOODS, b. Tarmon, Co. Leitrim 1960 To: <IRELAND-L@rootsweb.com> AFTER THE AMERICAN WAKE It is 1904 or 1905 - we don't know the time of year but it's likely summer. Two men are saying goodbye forever at a green gate over a stream. They are both called Myles, both are tall and thin. One is going to America and will never return. One is staying here and will never leave. They have watched the dawn rise over the lough, seen the last of the stragglers home. They hear the jingle of the horse's harness, linger, clasp hands, hear the driver shout. Remember, said the one leaving, Remember tonight. -- Vincent Woods ------------------------------ The American Wake A Meenleitrim area metaphor for emigration was to "saddle the salmon", that is, to put a saddle on the local fish in the nearby Shannon River and swim the ocean to find a new place to live. A unique event then occurred which took place daily over all of Ireland for 75 years. Jerry and millions like him paid their last respects to their parents while they were still alive. A wake for the living, known to those who had one, as the "American Wake." It started in Ireland, which was the first place in the world where adult children were forced by economic and political circumstances to leave their parents and relatives, which for the vast majority, would not only be the last time that they would not only see each other, but in many a case might be the last time that they might even hear of each other due to the vagaries of ocean travel and the uncertainty of life in a new land with little reliable communications, especially for the poverty stricken and often illiterate immigrants from Ireland. "The American Wake began at night time, in the house of the emigrant, and continued through the night until the early hours. The young emigrant would have previously visited friends and neighbors letting them know of the impending departure. All who were close were expected to attend. They often were not occasions for merriment, but somber gatherings with serious conversation and advice for the young emigrant. In areas of acute poverty no refreshments were offered, but on rare occasions, a few neighbors brought a small quantity of poteen, but generally the dancing was absent. Women noted for their ability to keen (wail or lament) would be called upon to acquaint listeners with the virtues of the emigrant and the suffering brought upon the parents by the departure. This eulogy was given in a high pitched wail, resulting in a room full of keening women and weeping men. For 'when money was scarce, travel slow and perilous, illiteracy widespread, and mail service highly uncertain and destinations only vaguely perceived, the departure for North America of a relative or neighbor represented as final a parting as a descent to the grave.' In less poverty‑stricken areas, the American Wake proved itself a more festive occasion. Baking, cooking and cleaning were all part of the preparations. Neighbors frequently contributed food and a half‑barrel of porter or stout was available for the men. The kitchen furniture was moved and seating was provided around the walls for neighbors and friends. Song and dance followed, only to be interrupted by offers of tea, and stronger beverages. Jibs, reels, quadrilles, hornpipes, and Irish step dancing were the order of the day. The older people seated themselves around the hearth, while the younger ones took to the floor. The next morning, the emigrant was accompanied by friends and family to the train station or the dockside for his embarkation." (Kelley, et al., Blennerville, pp. 147‑50) The sorrow of those left behind was equally acute as it was for those leaving ‑ ‑ ‑ Come back! Come back! Back to the land of your fathers! Let us hear once more the sound of the soft Gaelic in our halls; the laughter of your children beneath our roots, the skirl of the bagpipe and the tinkle of the harp in our courts, the shout of our young men in the meadows by the river, the old, heart-breaking songs from the fields, the seanchas here where our broken windows stare upon weed‑covered lawns. Come back! Come back! The days are dark and short since ye went; there is no sunshine on Ireland and the nights are long and dismal. And there in the moonlit abbey by the river rest the bones of your kindred. The group, most likely accompanied by other relatives and neighbors, no doubt traveled by local stage coach the half dozen miles or so to Tralee and there purchased a train ticket to the City of Cork in the County of that name in the southwest corner of Ireland. Cork's ocean port was called Queenstown in those days, named so by the English masters in tribute to the 7 1/2 minute or so visit by Victoria to Cobh in the 1850's. After Ireland became a country in its own right, Queenstown was renamed Cobh, Gaelic for "Cove", pronounced identically.

Hello, I recently switched from receiving individual messages to digest. The digest is coming through as attachments of the individual messages. Is this correct? That is not the way it is with other mailing lists to which I subscribe and is a real pain. May have to switch back to separate messages. Thanks and Merry Christmas. Veronica

To All: Have a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy New Year. Love, Jack Sweeney, still here amid the Amish, in Palmer, Pennsylvania.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year to all the longtime and newer Kerry listers out there. I hope you enjoy your fruitcake, soda bread, colcannon, brown bread, or any other Irish treats, including Bailey's fudge, you may have made or had the pleasure to try!!! January is a good time, especially in cold New England, to spend time on your computer looking for your elusive ancestors. So good luck, and I hope you take the time to let us know if you found someone, or something about someone, in your line. ~Patsy~ Researching KELLY and O'DONOGHUE of the Iron Mills (aka Old Forge) area of Glen Flesk.

Looking especially for Patrick's son, Jeremiah b. c. 1840, who was said to have gone to the States. (I may have a link to him in Mineville, NY, but I need proof.)

Hi Marge, Sorry to say I can't come on December 30. However, I'm absolutely thrilled beyond belief that you now have the Casey Collection in Burbank! Congratulations and many, many thanks from all of the Irish researching their roots. I was in San Francisco last weekend and verified that the United Irish Cultural Center also has the Casey Collection, though the librarian didn't know it when I asked, but I found it on the shelves and showed it to her. The Cultural Center is across from the SF Zoo at 47th St. and Sloat. However, the library hours are limited, so check to be sure they're open before you go. When I was there, they were open Thurs-Sun, I think. By the way, the library is very small. You can Google United Irish Cultural Center and get the phone number, directions, etc. They also have a bar there that seems to be open daily (hmmm - the pub is open more often than the library....those Irish!??) At least now there are resources north and south in California.

Hello! I'm searching for the DALY family. Originated in Co Kerry & Co Cork then moved to Warwickshire (England). Patrick Joseph DALY born in 1888 in Listowell, Co Kerry. His parents were Michael DALY (c1866) and Mary MURPHY (c1867). Along with Patrick, they had other children: John (c1890), Timothy (c1893), Mary (c1895), Margaret (c1897), Michael (c1900), Cornelius (c1907) and Bridget (c1909). All born in Listowell, Co Kerry. Patrick at age 18 joined the Royal Munster Fusiliers in 1906. He then moved to Cloyne, Co Cork where he married Jane CANAVAN (1885) in 1916. They then had four children, all in Cloyne: Timothy (1920), Henry Joseph (1921), Thomas (1924) and Mary (1925). At some point in the late 1920s Patrick and the four children moved to Warwick without Jane. Thanks Mark
